Western Virginia. which has since
leavened the whole. To it's influence
do we owe whatever lis best that we
have in the State, of,eulture and ed

GERS in higher educational work in
this State. They toiled bravely and
honestly and sowed the good seed.
To-day, We, standing within the

of their sowing; and the future alone
can tell what will the harvest be.

Hero of a Hundred Contests.

While out prospecting in the lonely
region Of the Cow Creek Hills, C. H.
L. Shaeffer, of this place, met with an
adventure worthy of mention. While
following a path that leads down a
brushy canyon he suddenly found him
self face to fce with very large
cougar. This gentleman has had the
pleasure of hunting the polar bear in
the land of ice and snow; he has
hunted the grizzly of the Rockies,
therefore could not be blufed by any
savage cougar. The cougar took to a
tree and Shaeffer said it should die.
Without gun, without any companion
but faithful dog, without any weapon
but an average-sized pocketknife and
pole, this hero of hundred contests
with beasts climbed the large fir tree
and after desperate struggle sue
ceeded in killing the cougar. Old pio-
neers here say it is the largest cougar
ever killed in the Cow Creek Mount.

received were very slight.-Roseburg

The DeSoto Democrat does not want
Nichols, because according to that pa
per's opinion he is not true blue,''
that is, Democrat anyhow, right or
wrong! The said paper seems to think
that Nichols would be the Governor of
the whole people, instead of being the
instrument of party. This we grant
may not suit the palate and very likely
the interests of the Democrat. There
are many such papers in the State, but
we care not a jot about it in view of the
fact that the people want a Governor
for themselves, for the whole State and
not for small beyy of politicians and
other interested parties. Keep cool,
thus early friends at or near Shreve-
port; the people, as whole, will after
a while take charge of that business

SCHOOL AND CHURCH.


The colored people of the South

sixteen thousand teachers for ths

Rev. George o. Barnes, the evange

Kentucky and other sections q few
years ago, and who seemed to spurn al
wholesome regulations, being con
spicuously law unto himself, has now
united with the Church of England
and is at present in India.
American school books are not
desired in Argentine. A New York
firm sent textbooks into the country,
according to contract. but neither the
histories nor Biographies were accepted.
1t was found that they represented the
condition of the country as il was
twenty-five years ago and alluded to it
as The Argentine Confederation.
The use of that term was mortal in
suit to the people, since it was decided
by civil war that Argentine is not con-
federation of States, but a nation. Ia.

"A confession upon cribbing in col

ways in education. One man is said TO

Trade dollars, smoothed on one side
and inscribed with memoranda, aid the

maturity there is nothing to prevent it
from living indefinitely and growing
continually. He cites in proof pike

fish that have been there $40 years.

THE ANGELS,

A number of angels are men.
toned by name in the Scriptures,
but all are males. The Bible gives
the idea of an innumerable host of
heaven, but has to mention of a fe-
male presence. Yet the mind has
never been able to throw off the
impressions received from the
beautiful pagan religions, and it
clings to the idea that angels are
properly female. 1t cannot con
ceive male angel as a harmonious
particle. This classical heritage is
also fostered by woman's presence,
which furnishes our ideal Of the
nature of the angels.
